Angels, #3

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
Bless the LORD, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.

Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

Psalms 103:19-21, www.solascriptura.com

Father, here we learn that Your angels excel in strength. We sometimes feel the obstacles of life are insurmountable, but we forget that we do not have to accomplish everything in our own strength. It has been said that what we begin in our own strength, we must finish in our own strength and that is a formula for failure, in the long run.

We do not fully understand what kind of power the angels have but since they do Your good pleasure it seems safe to assume they can do anything You want them to do. We often limit our hopes by placing our own earthly perspective on things that simple exceed our understanding and sometimes exceed our faith.

Help us to know afresh that Your love for us exceeds our understanding and that as we look to You, constantly, that You take joy in our doing so. We truly never walk alone. Bless us this day, in Jesus name, we pray, amen.
